Fight Progressing in His Dining-Room.

New YORK, March 3-James f. Larkin and
Patrick Fitzgerald fought a draw Of twelve
rounds for a prize Of $500 early this morning.
The fight had been arranged to take place some
days ago, but the vigilance of the police pre-
vented it. When Fitzgerald and fourteen Of

they had been arrested the night before, Just as
the fight was about to start they Immediately
decided to have the fight at the Pastime Club

on the scene and the sports were putato flight
After looking around for place until nearly
morning, butler for a private family on Long
IsMhd, a friend of Fitzgerald, said the folks
we're away and they could fight in the dining
room of his employers residence. This was
agreed to, and in the dining-room of a paatial
mansion on Brooklyn Heights the fighters
stripped for the fray at quarter to o'clock.
Larkin was in magnificent condition, aud looked
more the runner than fighter. Fitzgerald,
who is horse-shoer, was in fine condition. too.

Twelve sluggug rounds were fought, and Lar

bones in his right arm. At the end of the

THE X. OF i. AND THE POPE.
Summary of Cardinal Gibbons's Statement in
Favor of the Labor Organization.

Cable Special.
1t seems to me plain that the Holy See can
not entertain the proposal to condemn the asso-
ciation:
/. Because such a condemnation does not ap-
pear to be justified either by the letter or spirit
of its constitution, of its laws. by the declara
ton OF its leaders.
2. That such condemnation does not appear
necessary IN view of the transient form of the
organization and of the social condition of the
United States.
3. That it would not be prudent on account of
the reality of the wrongs of the workingmen, and
the fact that the existence of such is allowed by
the American public.
4. That 1t would be dangerous to the reputa
tion of the church in our democratic country.
8. That it would be powerless to compel tho
obedience of our Catholic workingmen, who
would regard it as false and iniquitous.
8. That it would be destructive, we'll. in
stead of beneficial in it's effects forcing the
of the Church to rebel against their mother
and to range themselves with condemned socie
ties which they have hitherto avoided.
Z. That it would be runous to the financial
support of the church and to the raising OF Pc
ters pence.
8. That it would turn into doubt and hostility
the marked devotion of our people toward the
Holy See.
8. Inat it would be regarded as a cruel blow
to the authority of the bishops of the United
States. who, it is well-known, protest against
such condemnation.
l trust that the considerations here presented
have shown sufficiently clearly that such would
be the results OF the condemnation of the Knights
of Labor of the United States. Therefore. I
leave their with full confidence in the wis
DOWN and prudence of your Eminence and of
the Holy See. CARD. GIBBONS,

bellion against such system. He was informed
that the costs Of the Woodford evictions
amounted to Ella, 900, while the total amount in

ants was only f25, 900. No amount

Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chief Secretary for

Irish police were necessary to maintain order,

members OF Dublin jury recently refused to
believe Dilon's own statement admitting that
he was concerned in the Plan of Campaign. In
addition, the House was now told that convic-

intended TO ask Parliament for such changes of
